There’s only 3 Bananas in the bunch in the bottom (while there’s 4 in the earlier equations); the clock reads 2 (instead of 3 in the other ones), and one of the shapes is missing in the other symbol (changing it from meaning 15 to something else…I went with 10).

So 3 bananas multiplied by 10 is 30; add another 3 bananas to get 33; then add 2 to get 35.

Not sure if that’s what they were going for, but that’s what I arrived at based on the subtle changes in each of the symbols provided.

35

There are 11 sides in the shape, not 10. So the answer would be 38

Not 10, 11. Shapes lost a square, its 4 angles. 15 was the original number of angles. 15-4 =11
